Released 1977Electronic
Classic

A sleek, romantic concept album about European travel that shaped electro, hip-hop and techno. Hypnotic and forward-looking. Hugely influential. Released in 1977, it's a key entry in Kraftwerk's run.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
